I tried using an "app" on my BB10 to keep track of my grocery  
list.  But that system failed when I would forget to bring the  
phone with me or when the battery is just about to run out.

I'm back to using a simple list on paper that I keep attached  
to the fridge, but that system fails sometimes when I forget to  
take the list with me.

SO, it appears that I need to pin a checklist right on the  
inside of the front door of my house that reminds me to check  
the list on the fridge.  :/
